    Adam Keen – Surrendering to Your Yoga Teacher – Is it a Good Idea?

    "The rules are just the wrapping paper." www.keenonyoga.com | @adam_keen_ashtanga  Adam discusses the complex themes of trust and surrender within the context of yoga practice, particularly Ashtanga. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining personal autonomy and critical thinking when engaging with teachers and the practice itself.

    Daniel Simpson – Addiction in Yoga: Striving for More

    "Asana is beneficial, but context is everything." www.truthofyoga.com   | @danielcsimpson The Truth of Yoga Course Nov 2024  Adam and Daniel explore the complexities of modern yoga practice, particularly the push for performance in asana and the confusion surrounding its original purpose. They discuss the emotional journey that practitioners undergo, the disconnect between asana and traditional yoga philosophy, and the addictive nature of striving for progress. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of understanding objectives in practice and the need for emotional awareness in yoga, ultimately advocating for a reframing of how yoga is taught and experienced. They also touch on the modern yoga landscape, the commodification of yoga, and the search for deeper meaning beyond superficial happiness.   Key Points   ·      Modern yoga often emphasizes performance over original objectives. ·      The confusion in asana practice stems from a lack of clear aims. ·      Asana was originally about sitting comfortably, not performing shapes. ·      Emotional processes are integral to the yoga experience. ·      Striving in practice can lead to addiction and desensitization. ·      Progress in yoga is often perceived linearly, which is misleading. ·      Conditioning affects how we approach yoga and our expectations. ·      Advanced asanas do not necessarily correlate with emotional well-being. ·      The pursuit of satisfaction in yoga can lead to suffering. ·      Reframing yoga practice can enhance emotional awareness and understanding. Reframing Ashtanga Yoga can lead to a deeper understanding of its benefits. ·      Context is crucial in evaluating the practice of asana. ·      Yoga originally aimed for a state of being, not just physical practice. ·      Honesty in practice is essential for growth and understanding. ·      Cultural perspectives on shame and guilt influence modern yoga practices. ·      The modern yoga landscape often prioritizes performance over true practice. ·      Finding meaning in yoga goes beyond achieving physical postures. ·      The commodification of yoga can detract from its philosophical roots. ·      Self-identity plays a significant role in how we approach yoga. ·      True contentment in yoga comes from understanding and relationships.
